Four people, including three civilians, were killed by an unidentified soldier in the Black Sea city of Sevastopol in Russian-annexed Crimea, the city's Moscow-installed governor said on Tuesday.
"A tragedy in Sevastopol... According to initial information, a soldier opened fire on his fellow servicemen, killing one person, before attacking civilians and killing three of them," Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on Telegram.
He added the assailant, whose nationality was not specified and whose motives were not immediately clear, was arrested.
The civilian victims were two men aged 71 and 59, and a 64-year-old woman, Razvozhayev added.
Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, has for weeks been the target of Ukrainian retaliatory attacks aimed at disrupting the logistics of Russian forces deployed in southern Ukraine.
Russia launched its full-scale offensive against Ukraine in February 2022, and has regularly struck its neighbor, including from the Crimean peninsula.
